Vision of Digital Engineering (aka Model-Based) CURRENT STATE Our workforce uses stove-piped data sources and models in isolation to support various activities throughout the life-cycle Current practice relies on standalone (discipline-specific) models Communication is through static disconnected documents and subject to interpretation FUTURE STATE Digital Engineering moves the engineering discipline towards an integrated model-based approach Through the use of digital environments, processes, methods, tools, and digital artifacts To support planning, requirements, design, analysis, verification, validation, operation, and/or sustainment of a system. Digital Engineering ecosystem links our data sources and models across the lifecycle Provides the authoritative source of truth Current: Stove-piped models and data sources Future: Digital Engineering Ecosystem 10/26/2016 Page-3

CLE 011 Course Description ORIGINAL: Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for Systems Engineering Provided an overview of how M&S supports the DoD acquisition process, outlines relevant DoD acquisition policy and guidance and summarizes how M&S supports Systems Engineering. How to plan for its effective use; the reuse of M&S assets; the key aspects of Verification, Validation, & Accreditation (VV&A); and understand how the government should plan for contracting support for M&S. RESTRUCTURED: Models, Simulations and Digital Engineering in Systems Engineering Describe the use of models and simulations in the context of the digital engineering (modelbased) activities ongoing in the Department, and the Defense Industry. Discuss the value of consistent and coherent use of models in support of DoD acquisition system activities. Outline the need for properly aligning the use of digital artifacts to tasks, and the attributes necessary to ensure success on engineering efforts.

Lesson 1 Digital Engineering Concepts Lesson one provides a basic understanding of the use of models in the context of Digital Engineering. Modeling is essential to aid in understanding complex systems and system interdependencies. This lesson sets the stage for understanding: The motivation for change to have models and supporting technical data as the source of truth and not the documents. The tenets in DoD policy and guidance supporting the change to Digital Engineering The terms that support the concept for Digital Engineering Use of model based approach to increase program success and establish the models as the authoritative source Models, simulations, and artifacts developed and used as a technical continuum through the program lifecycle. 10/26/2016 Page-8
Lesson 2 Preparing for a Digital Engineering Ecosystem Red Boxes: Changes to existing taxonomy Requirements Configu ration Control Desi gn Verificati on & Validatio M f g n Risks, Issues & Opportunities Lifecycle Sustainment Management Pr og ra m M gt Technical Management F i n a n c i a l Schedu le Infrastructure Management W B S Lesson two provides the considerations when moving towards the future state of the Digital Engineering Ecosystem. This lesson explores considerations for: Integrating methods, processes, tools and data in a collaborative environment Incorporating the Digital System Model (DSM) taxonomy as general guidance of how the data should be structured, developed, and used Providing end-to-end data management for creating, processing, sharing, and reusing data/information across across the lifecycle Defining workforce needs for the development and use of models, data and digital artifacts during the acquisition lifecycle.

Lesson 3 Acquisition Considerations Lesson three provides understanding of how Digital Engineering tasks and products are put on contract. DE Ecosystem related tasks require multiple considerations that consist of: Inclusion of modeling, simulation, and digital engineering tasks in the RFP. Obtaining the appropriate model and digital engineering artifacts and deliverables using the proper contractual mechanism. Acquiring the data and data rights to support digital engineering activities Identifying and managing the full spectrum of IP and related issues throughout the lifecycle 10/26/2016 Page-10
Lesson 4 Using Digital Engineering to Gain Community Acceptance and Understand Risks Lesson four provides key enablers for understanding how to gain Acceptance and Approval for Models and Digital Engineering artifacts. This lesson provides an understanding of how to: Gain the communities acceptance and the stakeholder s trust for using Digital Engineering Verify and validate the models to increase confidence in the pedigree of the single source of truth Identify and mitigate the programs risks Determine the risks associated with using a Digital Engineering approach Credibility (explicit) Digital Artifacts Models, Data Processes, Methods Tools Community Acceptance Trust (Tacit) Context/Governance Accuracy of Expert Judgment Applicability of Methods/Processes Community Buy-in Peer Reviews, Verification, Validation, Accreditation 10/26/2016 Page-11
Lesson 5 Examples of Using Digital Artifacts Lesson five provides an understanding of how digital artifacts support system-of-systems, program interoperability, and modularity (as part of Modular and Open System Approach) This lesson provides examples showing how: Digital artifacts support interoperability to consistently share and exchange data and models across stakeholders Digital artifacts support the spectrum from one system to a System of Systems (SoS) in order to deliver unique capabilities that achieve the mission Digital artifacts support Modular Open Systems Approaches (MOSA) to enable modular and adaptable open interfaces of new and/or legacy systems Cohesively using digital artifacts throughout the lifecycle is critical 10/26/2016 Page-12
